The event, which will
include basket auctions and a 50/50 raffle, is set for 5 to 9 p.m., and is
sponsored by friends of the family and the school's Key Club.

In 2006, at the age of
42, just days after being diagnosed with breast cancer, Ronda underwent
emergency surgery for a brain aneurysm. Following her brain surgery recovery,
Ronda was able to undergo successful surgery and treatment for her breast cancer
and return to full-time work. But the family learned in August 2011 that the
cancer had spread to her liver.

Years of illness have
taken emotional and financial tolls on Ronda and her husband, David, and their
two children, Zack, 17, and Andrea, 12.

Ronda has touched many
lives in the community through her generosity, compassion and friendship, and
through her work with the Fireman's Credit Union, HSBC, Town of Lewiston Courts
and Koban's Restaurant.

There is no admission
charge to attend the event. Raffle tickets are $10 per sheet or $25 for three
sheets. Three tickets also will be sold for $5 for a high-end raffle with
prizes valued at more than $100.

Those interested in
making a basket or monetary donation may call Anne Marie DiMino-Hepfer at 716-628-8018
or contact her at [email protected]. Check donations may be
made to the Benefit for Ronda Koban-Sortore, c/o 525 Vanderbilt Ave., Niagara
